Busan, South Korea - the CTCN together with the Green Energy Institute (GEI), Korea, and in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA, have just concluded the first of a series of regional capacity building activities focusing on Green Hydrogen for energy system transformation.
As nations increasingly move towards net zero emission targets, the utilization of green hydrogen has gained traction due to its significant potential to decarbonize various sectors and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

It is well documented that solar energy can be an effective means of cleaning contaminated water. This is because ultraviolet (UV) light destroys the formation of DNA linkages in microorganisms, thereby preventing them from reproducing and thus rendering them harmless.

The objective of the AEC is to break down systemic barriers that inhibit the adoption of innovation. One of the major challenges in the energy industry is the complex nature of the dynamics between higher levels of government (e.g.

Under the anaerobic (oxygen free) conditions of landfill sites, organic waste is broken down by micro-organisms, leading to the formation of landfill gas (LFG). LFG is a gaseous mixture which consists mostly of methane and carbon dioxide, but also of a small amount of hydrogen and occasionally trace levels of hydrogen sulphide.
- Type:TechnologySectors:Objective:
Hybrid technology systems combine two or more technologies with the aim to achieve efficient systems. Possible combinations are: wind-solar photovoltaic (PV) hybrid systems, wind-diesel hybrid systems, fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid systems, wind-fuel cell hybrid systems, etc. (see the short descriptions below). Hybrid systems combine numerous electricity production and storage units to meet the energy demands of a given facility or community (Solar Energy Technologies Program, 2006).
- Type:TechnologySectors:Objective:
Fuel cells are used to produce electricity. They are considered a promising technology to replace conventional combustion engines in vehicles. Fuel cells may also replace batteries in portable electronic equipment. The most widely used types of fuel cells for mobile devices are Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells (PEM FC) which are often used in vehicles, and Direct Methanol fuel cells, used in portable applications. PEM fuel cells use hydrogen or certain alcohols such as methanol as fuel.
